Instructions
 

  • Clean, wash and roughly chop the coriander leaves and the stalk together to form 3 cupfuls of leaves.
  • Clean the mint leaves and use one cup heaped of the leaves
  • Slit the chillies and remove the vein in the centre if you do not want it very spicy. if you desire a spicy one roughly chop the chillies and add.
  • Into a blender add the mint leaves, coriander leaves, salt and chopped chillies.
  • Blend adding very little water. Use the pulse mode initially to chop down the content and the add a tbsp of water at a time.
  • Blend to nearly a smooth paste. Now add the juice of one lemon and blend further.
  • Once a smooth blend, remove and check for the balance of salt and tartness from the lemon. If desired add more lemon juice
